However; there is one drawback to using benzoil peroxide and that is that is that it can and will dry the skin out leaving it cracked red and irritated.

The big problem is that dry cracked skin is then more vulnerable to attack by acne causing bacteria which in turn leads to more treatments with benzoil peroxide. The Obagi acne skin treatment system not only uses soluble benzoil peroxide to attack the acne causing bacteria deep below the skins surface in the substrate but it also addresses the overall health of the skin.

By effectively promoting the production of collagen and elastin while simultaneously fighting acne causing bacteria with benzoil peroxide the Obagi skin treatment system insures that the skin will be left healthy and viable which will allow it to function as the bodies natural barrier to invading bacteria. Numerous clinical trials have shown again and again that this approach to fighting acne that is central to the Obagi system is effective and does in fact produce noticeable long lasting results.
